A rollicking, sensuous, feel-good romantic comedy about a grieving young
widow who decides to get in shape . . . and winds up getting her groove
back—and a whole lot more!

Holly didn't expect to be a widow at thirty-two. She also didn't expect
to be so big. After her husband's death, food was the one thing she
could always count on. Now, those extra pounds make flying coach feel
like medieval torture—especially when she's squished next to Logan
Montgomery. A personal trainer to famous pro athletes, her seatmate is
so hot that he makes Holly sweat in all the right (and so embarrassingly
wrong!) places.

Though Holly doesn't make the grade on Logan's first-impression meter,
he finds himself intrigued by her sharp wit and keen insights—a welcome
change from the high-maintenance models he dates—so he impulsively
offers to get her back in shape. A little skeptical but ready to make at
least one positive change in her life, Holly agrees.

To Logan's (and her own) surprise, Holly turns out to be a natural in
the gym, slimming down into a bona fide looker with killer curves—and a
new kind of hunger. Before either of them can stop it, the easy intimacy
of their training sessions leads to even more steamy workouts away from
the gym.

Logan's best friends, professional baseball player Chase Walker and his
wife, Amanda, see that this is more than a fling, even if Logan and
Holly don't. But can a man whose whole life depends on looks commit
himself to a woman who doesn't fit his ideal? Now that Holly's turning
other men's heads, does she even need Logan anymore? Are they a couple
built to last . . . or destined to fizzle?

I've heard good things overall about Big Girl Panties, so I think I'd like to give it a try. However, I've also heard it compared to both Weiner and Green, authors I've had uneven luck reading. We'll see!Thanks!JHolden955(at)gmail(dot)com
